Trigonometry Identities - Sum/Difference to Identity (Degrees)

Level 1

This math topic focuses on the practice of trigonometric identities specifically dealing with sum and difference identities in degrees. Each problem presents a trigonometric expression and requires the completion of the corresponding sum/difference identity. Skills being exercised include manipulation and simplification of complex expressions involving tangent, sine, and cosine functions. The goal is to correctly identify and apply the appropriate trigonometric identities to rewrite the given expressions, improving the understanding and application of these fundamental concepts in trigonometry.
